The folks over at "Evolved" Barbershop mean every single word they say and they stand by all of them, which on the night my 9 yr old boy and Ishowed up was quite a few of them. Seriously though, (and I do not have names nor would I share if I did), the dude at the front stall, as you enter, was very engaging and hilarious. From the moment we walked in his commentary was cordial, comical and engaging! I'm one of those dudes who is not overly fond of "small" talk. I am not a jerk about it and if you ask me some meaningless question, or point out some pointless fact such as, "Boy, it sure is getting chilly lately". I will respond to you, but I am not happy about it! I just like to keep the peace, ya know!? Now, to his actual haircut//"stylist". it was Fantastic/ She was Amazing! For $30, she threw some "rizz" on my boy! (At the age of 53, I have absolutely no clue if that word was just used properly or not?! Nonetheless, my kid was extremely happy about his new 'do, and I'm sure the 3rd grade "ladies" over at Whispering Oak Elementary would agree! My teenage daughter just "cringed". (I'm learning...). OK...well, now I feel would be a good time to conclude this review! Please know, and with 100% seriousness, our lady in the 2nd Booth from the front door was great! She was awesome at making my shy, always trying too hard to be cool, and quite picky, 9 year old feel great, comfortable and and with a newfound confidence. I suppose that is what a new look, expertly created, can do for you! I forgot to mention that she was quick, as well! We walked in (no appt) around 6:30pm pn a Tuesday night and there was only one other customer in the joint. During our 20 min or so, that guy finished and another guy entered and was promptly greeted and taken care of by the young man near the back. After roughly 17-20 minutes, my lil dood shook off the excess strands of cut hair and walked out of EVOLVED with a whole lot more "rizz" and you cannot place a price tag on that! My son's hair has NEVER looked better and I mean that!!! That is why we will be returning to EVOLVED every 3-4 weeks as we go forward!

The shop has a very vintage barber shop fee to it. Laid back and a place where clients can come in shot the breeze with the barbers and other clients about whatever game or highlights are playing.

Only thing I regret is not taking a pic so you can see the proven results. As to negative comments below, in regards taking "homies" before you. Yeah, that's what happens when you are a loyal customer, make appts and/Or tip really well. Something I'm sure you didn't think of instead of going elsewhere (n bro u shoulda) and being spiteful to crew for wanting to take a bite to eat for energy!

First of all, I have had my previous barber for over a decade so I believe in loyalty, with that…read morebeing said, it took me over a couple years of test trialing to find Khalif. He's not one to sit there and be quick, so if you want quick, go somewhere else. If you want someone to take their time, pride themselves in their work, and bend your ear, he's your dude. I went in the first time with an open mind. My second time, he got me damn near perfect, I say it like that, because anyone who knows about your relationship with a barber knows it's going to take at least 5 cuts to get things dialed in. I always, and I mean always only leave quality reviews on Yelp. If I am giving a review, it means I appreciate the overall experience and quality of service I'm paying for. With that said, Khalif is now my regular barber. Also, I would recommend setting a time with him up because if not, you might have to wait. Remember you can't have all three ever (easy, cheap, fast). For example, if you want it cheap and easy it's not going to be fast. If you want it fast is not going to be cheap or easy. He's a great guy and the staff are great in there too!

She was so knowledgeable and especially patient with me giving a long winded and neurotic explanation to what I was trying to get. She did a wonderful on the fade pattern, fade line, trimming with the shear work. It was really relaxing to get my haircut done by Antoinette. I'm definitely coming back to her again and to that shop. I finally have found a place with competent and adequate barbers. UPDATE 11/20/2025 Ok, so I would like to keep my above statement as a fact, but I can't. I measured my hair two weeks later and found that she cut the left side 3/4 inches to 1 inch shorter than the right side. So, I don't know if this is due to the fact that my head is not perfectly round, my hair line us unevenly receding, if this due to something that all the barbers from the coast of Oside and the barbers a few miles from that area are trying to convey to me and each other, but yeah.... She even faded the left side more than the right when it came to moving around the crown's edge... When I even asked to avoid making that specific mistake that most of the barbers i Oside make; she was confused as to what part of the head I was referring to... should have honored that as the first sign to dip.
